In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 30,277 gross tons, Azamara Pursuit is the 19,079th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 5.1 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 283rd by tonnage — larger than 43% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Bermuda is the country of registry for 177 vessels in this directory, of which Azamara Pursuit is the 123rd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (80 ships), and the median vessel measures 77,277 GT. Browse every ship flagged Bermuda.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 26 cruise ships flying the Bermuda flag, of which 23 are larger by tonnage.
Azamara Pursuit was built in 2001, making it 25 years old. It is one of 1,268 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 14,062 GT; within it this ship is the 336th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 123 vessels to Chantiers de l'Atlantique, with a median tonnage of 63,786 GT, delivered between 1912 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 180.4 m overall, Azamara Pursuit is 17.7 m shorter than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 25.5 m and a draft of 6.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9210220 this registry holds 50 other vessels, whose median build year is 2000 and which range from 1999 to 2003. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2001.
Its IMO number, 9210220, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 1×5 + 0×4 + 2×3 + 2×2 = 90 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.
